“…Only, a continuity has been found between "usability" and "instruction" that is repeated in both periods. These results are consistent with those other studies that have found there to be a great variety of research, highlighting the conceptualization of this phenomenon, the development of new RA methodologies, motivation and the attitude, special relocation, academic achievement, and the subjects in which the RA is studied [32,38].…”

“…With regard to language, the one used by scientists to present their research is English, as found in other studies [33]. The studies are presented via communication and articles, evenly, with the first being slightly more common-results that are consistent with other studies that also add a paper as a type of relevant study [3], with quantitative studies being the main methodological choice [38]. For sources of origin, "INTED proceedings" (3.62%) and "EDULEARN proceedings" (2.36%) are the most common.…”

“…Hwang are the most important authors [37].In a bibliometric study on AR carried out for the field of business administration, two distinct periods were differentiated in terms of the amount of scholarship produced; the most prolific period corresponds to 2012-2016 [35]. It has been found that quantitative studies predominate [38], especially in communication and presentation formats (moreso than articles [3]), with English being the most widely used language [33]. A combined bibliometric study between AR and M-learning on the WoS found that there is a great variety of main topics being analyzed, with the concept of the phenomenon, the development of new AR methodologies, motivations, special relocations, and the subjects in which AR is implemented being the most popular [32].…”

Augmented reality is an emerging technology that has gained great relevance thanks to the benefits of its use in learning spaces. The present study focuses on determining the performance and scientific production of augmented reality in higher education (ARHE). A bibliometric methodology for scientific mapping has been used, based on processes of estimation, quantification, analytical tracking, and evaluation of scientific research, taking as its reference the analysis protocols included in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses for Protocols (PRISMA-P) matrix. A total of 552 scientific publications on the Web of Science (WoS) have been analyzed. Our results show that scientific productions on ARHE are not abundant, tracing its beginnings to the year 1997, with its most productive period beginning in 2015. The most abundant studies are communications and articles (generally in English), with a wide thematic variety in which the bibliometric indicators "virtual environments" and "higher education" stand out. The main sources of origin are International Technology, Education and Development Conference (INTED) Proceedings and Education and New Learning Technologies (EDULEARN) Proceedings, although Spanish institutions are the most prolific. In conclusion, studies related to ARHE in the WoS have become increasingly abundant since ARHE's research inception in 1997 (and especially since 2009), dealing with a wide thematic variety focused on "virtual environments" and "higher education"; abundant manuscripts are written in English (communications and articles) and originate from Spanish institutions. The main limitation of the study is that the results only reveal the status of this issue in the WoS database. Appl. Sci. 2019, 9, 5306 2 of 17 the professional practice of teachers and is visible in the need to carry out innovative practices [7] according to the requirements of an education immersed in this digitalized era [8].In this sense, the digital competency of teachers has become especially relevant in their daily tasks [9]; indeed, teachers are at the forefront of the education of new generations of students who are highly familiar with technology [10]. Despite this, current students still have certain training lacunae in related professional competences [11]. Therefore, it is required that teachers integrate of knowledge and skills linked to technopedagogy-that is, a new methodological paradigm in which the materials and resources used in the teaching and learning processes are mostly technological and digital. This will improve quality indicators and reproduce innovative learning experiences in the hands of educational technology [12].One of the technologies with great promise in the field of education is augmented reality (AR) [13,14], which allowing for unique instructional activities to facilitate learning [15]. Experts define this technology as an innovation that "allows the combination of digital information and physical information in real time through different technologi...

“…In a study by Turkish scholars on the impact of the use of communication technologies in teaching, it is noted that "the training program with technological support used in the experimental group is more effective in increasing student achievement and maintaining learning compared to a study group application that is not supported by communication technology and where teaching was teacher-oriented -a direct expression method" [2]. A study by other Turkish scholars notes that "mobile learning, science education, science education, and e-learning were the most frequently used keywords in articles over the past six years" [3]. Many researchers also study the aspect of social involvement and the role of emotions in the educational process.…”

Human development has a direct impact on the economic well-being and competitiveness of a country. Among the positive trends, it should be noted that over the period from 2010 to 2017 in the Republic of Bashkortostan, the number of pupils of preschool educational organizations increased by 41%, the number of teachers in them increased by 12%, the proportion of teachers with higher professional education increased from 43% to 58 % However, in the region, there is a decrease in the prestige of working in schools (a decrease in the number of teachers was 19% with an increase in the number of students by 6%); in-state educational organizations implementing programs for training mid-level specialists, the number of teachers decreased by 14%, with a general decrease in the number of students by 2% and admission by 3%. A decrease in the number of universities by 33% was accompanied by a decrease in the number of students by 35% and a decrease in the number of faculty by 33%. A decrease in interest in scientific activity is accompanied by a reduction in the number of graduate students by 44%, and a decrease in admission to graduate school by 61% and a fourfold reduction in the number of defense of dissertations after graduation. The demographic decline and the decline in the prestige of higher education deteriorate human resources. There is no migration increase, a significant part of the migration loss is made up by migrants with higher education, the population of the republic is aging, and the number of able-bodied people is decreasing. The unemployment rate is falling, however, the proportion of unemployed with higher education is growing. Certain measures for the development of human capital in the region are taken by the state. Budget expenditures on education in the Republic of Bashkortostan and Russia as a whole increase, national projects, and federal programs are launched to develop regions, attract highly qualified specialists (teachers, doctors, especially in rural areas) and increase investment attractiveness. The results of these measures can be evaluated in the future, in the medium and long term.
